Jim...I personally like the look of multi carb systems as I've had several combinations over the years.

I agree with Chas on the vacuum and Stan with the 390 cfm holleys.

What's nice about vacuum is they only open up enough to meet the airflow needed by your engine, so with your 302 345hp engine the 390 dual quads might not open all the way...but they''ll open enough to meet the max airflow of your 302.

The only thing is, Carl's 465 cfm carbs are probably already setup for the factory style 427 dual quad linkage and the universal 390 holleys are not...so some tweeking will need to take place.

I've bought dual quad carbs from Carl's and they were first rate, although in this case you don't need 900 cfm, one last thing... the 427 carb linkage he sells was much better quality then others I have purchased.
